Tesla MODEL X 2021 Owner's Manual page 35

WARNING: Riding in a moving vehicle
with the seat back reclined can result
in serious injuries in a collision, as you
could slide under the lap belt or be
propelled into the seat belt. Ensure
your seat back is reclined no more
than 30 degrees when the vehicle is
moving.
Adjusting Second Row Seats
(Bench)
Second row bench seats can accommodate
up to three passengers. Use the mechanical
adjustment lever located at the side of each
outboard seating position to adjust the seat
backs. A bench seat is split 60/40 so the
adjustment lever on the left side moves the
seat backs for both the left and center seats,
whereas the lever on the right side moves the
rightmost seat back only. While pulling and
holding the lever, move the seat back to the
desired position, and then release the lever.
When returning a seat back to its upright
position, try moving it forward or back to
ensure it is securely latched into position.
WARNING: Riding in a moving vehicle
with the seat back reclined can result
in serious injuries in a collision, as you
could slide under the lap belt or be
propelled into the seat belt. Ensure
the backs of occupied seats are
reclined no more than 30 degrees
when the vehicle is moving.
Seating and Safety Restraints
Front and Rear Seats
Folding Second Row Seats
(Bench)
The second row seat backs on bench seats
can be folded fully forward so they lay flat
and maximize cargo space. Pull up the
mechanical lever located on the side of each
outboard seat (the same lever you use to
recline the seats, as described previously),
then push the seat back fully forward. The
bench seats have a 60/40 split—therefore,
the adjustment lever on the left side folds the
seat backs for both the left and center seats,
whereas the lever on the right folds the
rightmost seat back only.
NOTE: Before folding seats fully forward,
remove any items from the seats and the rear
footwell. To allow the seat backs to fold
completely flat, you may need to move the
front seats forward.
Moving Second Row Seats
(Bench)
NOTE: Only bench seats in seven-seat
vehicles can be moved forward and rearward.
The bench seats in five-seat vehicles are
stationary.
Use the mechanical lever located beneath
each outboard seating position to move the
second row seats forward or rearward. The
bench seats have a 60/40 split—therefore,
the lever on the left side moves the seat for
the left and center seats, whereas the lever on
the right side moves only the rightmost seat.
Pull and hold the lever while moving the seat
forward or rearward. Release the lever when
the seat is at the desired location. Ensure the
lever is locked in place before driving.
